"We visited as a group of 12, booked in April and pre orders given to restaurant several days before visit. Service was extremely slow with no apology given. Hot starters served on hot plates on bed of rocket which meant the rocket was completely wilted and inedible. Half of main courses delivered approx 20 minutes before remainder came out. One portion of seabass was so hard it couldn't be cut and was sent back no replacement as they had run out of seabass. Mushroom Risotto was dry, bland and all stuck together plus mushrooms were bordering on slimy. Chicken curry was bland and pre cooked shredded chicken only edible part of dish was poppadom. One burger was dropped as it left kitchen and replacement, although offered to be only a few minutes away, took nearly 30 minutes and bun was rock hard. Roast potatoes on one dish had absolutely no colour to them and looked more like boiled. Two of us didn't even bother to stay for desserts and refused to pay for main courses. We never really received any apology for the bad service and meals. We were told they had staffing issues, but customers arriving after us ate and left before our main courses even arrived. Sorry, but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone."

We went here due to favorable reviews and we were not disappointed. The setting is nice and spacious and clean. A great selection of real ales and quality local food. So we had the chicken wings to start as a share starter and they were...

Had a recommendation from a friend previously. The welcome was friendly, the menu and beer choice was excellent. We had fish chips and Gammon, egg, pineapple chips which may sound boring but the quality was probably the best we’d ever had. We were...

Friend and I stayed two nights while doing dogfest. Couldn't have wished for a more friendly welcome as we arrived fairly late with two grumpy dogs having been in the car for hours. Room was clean, bed comfy and dogs settled well. Breakfast was to...

We had an excellent experience here lovely friendly staff, great range of beers on tap, really good pub grub. My partner commented it was easily one of the best burgers he'd eaten. The selection of beers was excellent. A lovely touch was the homemade dog biscuits for our pooch. Would highly recommend for a lovely welcoming and relaxed meal View menu

My wife and I have just returned from The Geese and fountain. We stayed for one night, the room was very nice and the meal in the restaurant was excellent. Good selection of beer and wines at reasonable prices. We found the staff very friendly. The whole 3 course served in about two hours, which my wife had no problem with. We don't go out for a meal to be rushed through as quick as the staff can. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Thank you to all who work there.

We had a lovely welcome, both on the phone, to check if we could park our motorhome for the night and as we arrived at the bar. The bar and dining areas are sensitively open plan with a bit of privateish space. The light coloured sturdy pine tables and hefty chairs work well with the great textured floor tiles so not necessarily original but definitely giving the ambience of an old country pub. The menu communicates pub grub but in actual fact the food on your plate is fresh beautifully presented and very tasty. I had the salmon and avocado salad, really lovely locally sourced (from the village) salad leaves, avocado just the right ripeness sitting on top of good smoked salmon. Great contras...
